Pancreatic protocol CT involves imaging at the pancreatic phase (i.e., approximately 45 seconds after contrast administration) and at the portal venous phase (i.e., approximately 70 seconds after contrast administration). It is useful for detection of adenocarcinoma of pancreas.

Metastatic lesions are seen in the portal venous phase, because the lesions are not typically well vascularized.

Arterial phase images are principally used to distinguish metastatic disease from benign vascular lesions, such as hemangiomas, or to better define the arterial anatomy of the liver.
